Chapter 62
Chapter 62
When it comes to the binding method of back-bound books, the most important thing is the movable type printing. Once this happened, scholars would see the way of it immediately.
In the future, not only will it be easier for them to find books, but they may also save a lot of money when buying books in the future.
This is really a good thing.
And because of this, in the minds of scholars, His Highness Duke Huai, who was usually scary and seemed a bit crazy, was not only favored by the emperor, but also a cruel prince of pure human beings.
"I really didn't expect that His Highness Duke Huai still has such a great talent."
All of a sudden, such remarks spread throughout the capital.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, who have been releasing frightening gossip all the year round: "..."
The emperor who didn't expect this direction at all: "..."
In short, no matter how complicated their moods are, at least among scholars, Xiao Qi won a lot of favors so easily without talking about whitewashing.
They even began to think that His Highness Duke Huai would think about doing these things, but it was not as scary as the rumors said. After all, according to the legend, this one was almost on fire...
"Just say what others say!" Bai Shisan sat there, almost listening to express his thoughts, "Just like now, your favor for him has soared, so much that you feel that the rumors are all fake. You didn't feel it before, so naturally you believe what he says. "
"After all, you don't know Duke Huai, and you haven't gotten along with Xiao Qi, so it's naturally difficult to judge whether the matter is true or not."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Only then did everyone realize that there was such a person sitting quietly in the corner.Taking a closer look, someone recognized it, "Isn't this Mr. Bai?"
Now in the capital, when mentioning Mr. Bai, everyone can only think of one, and that is Bai Shisan.
think again,
This one is still living in Duke Huai's mansion now, in terms of understanding of Duke Huai, who can compare to him.
So everyone gathered around, and there were two acquaintances among them, who they met at Wang's house that day.Bai Shisan said hello one by one, and then began to say: "Let's start with how we met!"
Everyone found a place to sit down, basically accepting the state of surrounding Bai Shisan.
What does it look like...
[Where are the melons, where are the melons, give them to us quickly! 】Xiao Xiao muttered to Bai Shisan in his mind: 【I used to look forward to eating melons, that's how it is. 】
Cough!
Bai Shisan ignored the small words in his mind, and simply started talking about the situation that day, from the sudden heavy rain to encountering an evil monster on the road... "Bah, no, he is an awakened person, and his blood is chicken. Anyway, our group did not The one who saw something was wrong, so he lived in it to shelter from the rain."
Then he was eaten by chickens, and Xiao Qi and his team came to rescue.
Of course, Bai Shisan saved himself by digging out other demon pills, and misunderstood that Xiao Qi was an evil demon (he had just recovered the memory of his previous life, and his mind was full of the system of the previous life, thinking that he was a monster), and said to Xiao Qi, "You Go die first, I'll come out when I die, skip the matter.
He only mentioned how embarrassed he was when he was rescued.
"Oh, I was still stupid at that time." He said, "Crawled out of the belly of the chicken awakened, covered in blood, and the rain hadn't stopped at that time. A place to hide. Xiao Qi, oh, that is, the prince saw me pitifully, so he tilted his umbrella to cover me..."
At this time, of course, the matter that the people from the Pingyuanhou Mansion hurried forward to stop was brought up again, "It was only later that I learned that that person is under Aunt Zhou's subordinates."
Everyone thought, oh, Aunt Zhou is the one who gave birth to the eldest son of the concubine, and she was also the one who changed the child back then.
Otherwise, thanks to the recent events, no one in Beijing is aware of the situation in the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion.
Of course, Bai Shisan is not mainly talking about this, he is mainly talking about the first impression Xiao Qi gave him.
"A good man."
He was stupid at the beginning, but Xiao Qi was very patient and helped him a lot.
In short, it is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and everyone will be familiar with it later.
Bai Shisan said that after returning to Beijing, he was planning to go back to Pingyuanhou's mansion, but it is well known that the Jiaomen incident occurred, so he had no place to live, and Xiao Qi invited him back to live in the mansion when he knew about it.
After hearing this, everyone felt that this might not be the same as the Duke Huai they had heard about before.
So, is Duke Huai such a person?
"Anyway, that's what I saw, and Duke Huai is good-looking, even with a cold face, he still looks good." Bai Shisan was talking, when the outside became silent, and then fell silent inside. ...
He looked up, hey, Xiao got up.
Xiao Qi still had such an expressionless face, seeing him look over he said: "Father wants to see you."
Bai Shisanxin said good guy, the old emperor finally couldn't sit still?
He stood up and bid farewell to the people around him, just got up and followed Xiao Qi away, the two left the tea house one after the other, then got on the horse and the carriage one by one.
At this time, the other people in the teahouse slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"I don't feel good-looking at all." I don't know who said it suddenly.
The others didn't react for a while, and it took a while to realize that what he said should be Bai Shisan said that Duke Huai looks good even with a cold face, indeed... they don't know whether it is good or not, they only know that it is indeed quite scary .
This is no longer something that can be achieved with a cold face. At that station, the aura emanating from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, is full of oppression, and I can't help shaking.
Who would care to pay attention to what this person looks like?
Over there, Bai Shisan has followed Xiao Qi into the palace.
After entering the palace, there was no carriage to sit in, the two walked all the way, Xiao Qi took the opportunity to mention this incident to him, in short, it was the new binding method and movable type printing that made the emperor unable to sit still.
Bai Shisan sneered, saying to himself that the emperor has a good plan, but in fact he has no talent in manipulating people's hearts.
He can tell that Xiao Qi only does what he thinks is right, or what is beneficial to the country and the people.Like catching kidnappers, like punishing a big corrupt official like Mr. Tan, like this time movable type printing and new binding method.
And like some Beijing-China, or those factional disputes in the court, he is not interested at all.
But the emperor wanted to force Xiao Qi to participate, but he didn't use any useful things he had to do, but wanted to start from him.
Geez, how can one say this.
[Say it straight. 】Xiao Xiao blatantly said: 【You just say that you think he has no brains. It is really all luck that the emperor has not been usurped yet. 】
Well, this master's rant still hits the nail on the head.
However, Bai Shisan didn't praise him, but continued to sigh with emotion, 【Do I look easy to be bullied? Do I look like someone who can be used easily? Like a weakness that can be bullied and used for fuss? 】
Xiao Xiao, who doesn't know him very well but has been with him for so long, already knows him very well, which must not be the case.
can only say,
[The dog emperor is so stupid! 】
[However...] Xiao Xiaofei flew upside down and looked at Bai Shisan's appearance. Although he was 1.8 meters tall, it might be because of his exquisite appearance and small face. There is no such sense of oppression in Xiao Qi's body from height to momentum.
Thinking about Huai Zhiya's soft, weak, slender waist and weak waist, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that these two people are not biological brothers and sisters, but they look like brothers and sisters.
For a while, he even wondered if everyone in the Bai family was like this. It wasn't until he met the three tall and big brothers that the misunderstanding was resolved.
Of course, Bai Shisan wouldn't know what was going on in his mind that needed to be controlled.
Following Xiao Qi all the way to the Zichen Palace where the emperor lived, he found that the layout of the palace here is still somewhat different from his previous life, but most of them are only different in details, probably because of myths and legends, and the development of different times over the years. of.
Like the location of the main hall or something, but it's still the same.
The walls in the palace are so high, but it doesn't matter to Bai Shisan who has a third perspective. He has even figured out the general layout of the palace, and compared it with the place where he lived in his previous life.
When they arrived at the Zichen Palace, the emperor didn't know what was going on, so he asked them to wait in the side hall first.
Tea was also served.
In this regard, the emperor would not do anything, and Bai Shisan was not afraid of the other party's poisoning, he had clear water flowing slowly, so he was not afraid of any poison.
He just took a sip and felt disgusted. Good tea is good tea, but in his opinion, he is used to drinking the products produced by small farmyards.
Xiaoxiao has already turned into a paper bird and pasted it on his clothes, probably because she thinks that there are too many rules in the palace, and she is afraid that someone will be caught and roasted later!
Bai Shisan was thinking boredly.
It's not good to openly take out food in the palace, so he just ate a couple of snacks here, "You eat some too, I think for a while, it shouldn't be our business."
Xiao Qi didn't move, he didn't like to eat, especially when he was in the palace.
Bai Shisan knew what was going on at a glance, so he didn't try to persuade him this time.I usually take two extra bites with me for good health, so forget it when I go back to the palace.
It's not that if you don't eat, you will die, it's not necessary!
At the same time, the emperor asked Eunuch Cao, the great eunuch beside him, "What's the situation over there?"
Eunuch Cao immediately whispered, "I'm eating."
"Fifth?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise.
Eunuch Cao quickly shook his head: "It's Mr. Bai, drinking tea and having some snacks, seems to be bored, and is pulling His Highness Duke Huai to talk."
At the same time, the empress and imperial concubine also got the news, and the three felt together, "It seems that the fifth child (Xiao Qi) is quite concerned about that Bai."
So, the emperor rummaged through it, and found an urgent letter from the folder on the table, "Go, tell Lao Wu that a major event has suddenly come here, and it is related to the frontier. I will let him discuss it first."
Over there, Bai Shisan was still eating while looking at the eunuchs and maids around him from a third perspective.
Then he complained to Xiao Xiao: "Where did the emperor come from with such great ambitions, and even want to control the power in Xiao Qi's hands, the people under his own hands don't even need to understand!"
Seriously, he rarely sees other people around the emperor.
Firstly, it was difficult to place people around the emperor, and peeping at the traces of the emperor was also a serious crime.Secondly, of course he can be an emperor. Except for the little dolls who are controlled by the regent and the Queen Mother, anyone who has some ability can not be said to be strict with the people around him. It's not enough to let him see the three forces at once.
Bai Shisan slowly guessed which three parties this was based on his experience and information.
Oh, and there's a fourth party.
Good guy.
The corners of Bai Shisan's mouth twitched, thinking that apart from the empress and concubine and the eldest prince's concubine, those princes in the harem who are still young have already started to plot?
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao was also very puzzled.
But he had a unique idea: [Perhaps it is because of this that he misses the people in the hands of the prince!You look at Wei Xuanfeng, a young expert in intelligence, and then look at the others, all of them are devoted to the prince. 】
Compared with Prince Huai's Mansion, which has always been unable to spread even half of the news, look at this plug, there must be a palace where many people can get news if there is a sneeze here.
Xiao Xiao felt: [Maybe the envy and jealousy are ruined, the emperor! 】
Bai Shisan: […]
He twitched the corners of his mouth, envy was useless.
The person under Xiao Qi's current hands is the person whom Duke Huai has subdued by virtue of his own character, charm and way of doing things. As for the person who is scary to others, it is a coincidence that they collide together.
It is impossible for the emperor to copy it. First of all, he will definitely not let himself have such a murderous reputation.
Bai Shisan thought about the emperor's reputation since he came to power. He has a generous personality, kindness and filial piety, and he is tolerant of others. He even put on an appearance of being willing to be modest, and would consider suggestions from the court.
Apart from the aspect of doting on his son, from the outside it seems that because Xiao Qi was neglected too much in the past few years, the emperor was just making up for it.
But actually.
Thinking of the few families who were punished and had accidents because of Xiao Qi these years, let alone the Empress Dowager's nephew, Bai Shisan still doesn't know what happened.
As for other people, as long as they casually inquire about their past events, they will find that there have been cases where the emperor was "easy to talk and don't care about", played loudly, and openly challenged the emperor... Although the emperor held back this tone at the time, secretly If he didn't find a chance, he would clean up the people, and when it was over, he would blame Xiao Qi.
Or everyone said that Xiao Qi was the emperor's most beloved son, such a useful tool man, who still cared about the people under him, had to make such an appearance.
Bai Shisan thought, if he were the emperor, he would pamper him.
Anyway, it's just to give more things, and to be crowned king early, just in time to suppress other sons, so a fool would not do it.
The emperor who was still sitting in the palace could never have imagined that he had already been seen through, so Eunuch Cao came here to invite Xiao Qi as he said.
"This is really a coincidence." Eunuch Cao said: "My lord, the emperor is still waiting... Mr. Bai, you need to wait a little longer. The emperor will not see you until he finishes his work today."
The subtext of this is that if you are busy all the time, you may not see you.
Eunuch Cao said again: "Master Bai, if you feel bored sitting here, you can also go out for a stroll."
Of course, these words are polite, in the palace, especially for the first time, no one dares to wander around without anyone leading them.After all, the rules here are strict, if one accidentally breaks any rules, there are not enough heads to lose.
But for Bai Shisan, is he still afraid of this?
He climbed a lot of trees in the palace, and even cut two. When he was a bear, he even fished out the golden carp raised in the imperial garden, and played the role of a white-clothed ghost outside the bedroom of a certain prince.
Although he knew that it was impossible for him to be so presumptuous in this imperial palace, it was obviously impossible for him to be in awe.
So here, as soon as Eunuch Cao took Xiao Qi away, Bai Shisan stepped out of the side hall, walked outside, and said brightly, "I won't stay here anymore, I want to go out for a stroll."
The news was as if he had grown legs, and the queen and others soon found out about it.
The queen narrowed her eyes, "Since the emperor has no skills for the time being, I will act on behalf of the emperor and meet him first, so as to see what kind of ability he has, so that he can charm Xiao Qi who doesn't know how to praise."
The queen still remembered that when she carefully selected two beauties, Xiao Qi didn't even look at them.
She thought it was a no-go, but now it seems that she misunderstood.
The queen dressed up and sat in the seat waiting for someone to invite Bai Shisan over.When someone came to take a look at her, she instantly felt, no wonder, this looks really rare and good-looking.
However, she also has two good-looking ones in her hand, who are also proficient in dancing skills, with soft waists and long legs.
Even though her face is definitely not as good as the one in front of her with the surname Bai, but she can't help but she is a woman.How can a sweet and soft girl be inferior to a man.
Xiao Qi had never seen a girl's house before, after seeing a girl's house, would he still want a man?
The queen thought clearly, she rolled her eyes and asked someone to bring up the two girls she had raised, and Bai Shisan's eyes lit up at the first glance.
Good-looking is really good-looking, and these two people are soft and beautiful, and the other is gorgeous, each with its own characteristics.
Since he lived in the palace, or since he wore it to this era, he has rarely seen such a woman.I can't say it's childish or not beautiful, but that's my younger sister, so it's fine if it's my own, it's not my own, can you be ashamed to keep staring at her?
As for the maids in Prince Huai's mansion, I don't know if they are good-looking or not, anyway, they are usually carved out of a cabinet all day long, without soul.
The queen sitting at the top saw the astonishment in his eyes, and felt disdainful in her heart. After all, he came from a small family, look at it.
But it also proves that the two dancers she trained are really powerful.
"It's good that he likes it." The queen thought, "In this way, it will be easier for him to bring him back. There is no way for Xiao Qi to do it. Could it be that he can't fool such a country boy?"
The queen thought about it, and there was a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, but the expression on her face became more and more kind.
"do you like it?"
She asked, "If you like it, you can take it back to your home."
Bai Shisan was fortunate enough to see the appearance of the queen when she gave it to others. She herself was kind and kind, but the maid beside her was as if she was given by the elders and could not give up. She also called it a special event. The honored thing is that he has had good luck for several lifetimes.
"These two dancers dance beautifully, and the Empress also loved them very much before."
Bai Shisan deliberately pretended to be refusing, "Since it is the empress's favorite, how dare the grass-roots take it away."
The queen immediately said: "Wufang, I still have it here in this Palace."
"In Prince Huai's residence, I remember that there should be no one who can sing and dance. He is still a prince after all. Even though he is not my own son, he can be regarded as my son. I still love him in my heart."
[I bah, fart! ] Xiaoxiao muttered in her mind.
Bai Shisan was already used to ignoring his words on some occasions, just thinking about it with a half-smile, and wanted to use him to put people in the palace.
After all these years, these people haven't given up yet?
As far as the layout of Duke Huai's Mansion is concerned, no matter how many people you arrange to enter, there will be no news about it!
He looked at the two dancers in front of him, and thought to himself that this was probably for passing on news.That's right, such a beauty can do a lot of things.
The queen over there almost made it clear that this was to be sent to warm Xiao Qi's bed.
Gee!
This made Bai Shisan a little upset.
He was upset, and he would never hold back, it would only make others more upset.
After all, the queen is a woman, so it is not suitable to meet outside men for too long.The two of them didn't have much to talk about, so after successfully stuffing them out, they asked Bai Shisan to back down.
The latter took the two dancers all the way to Zichen Hall, and stopped suddenly when they reached a place where there was no one on the way.
"What's the matter with you two!"
It was only after this question that I found out that these two people were from ordinary families, but they were born beautiful. They were discovered by the Queen's people, and they took them away to teach them how to play the pipa and dance.
Of course, their family members were also controlled by the queen, so they had to listen to the queen.
Bai Shisan wasn't worried that this was a lie, but in fact, if someone else asked, he wouldn't be able to find out anything at all. He was able to ask because of his charming voice.
Even so, he asked again: "I'll give you two options, one is to leave the palace with me, and be responsible for singing and dancing every day. Of course, I will rescue your family from the queen's side, but you are not allowed to have any collusion with the master in the palace." Thoughts. The second is to stay in the palace and go to meet the emperor later, if you want, I can make the emperor take a fancy to you."
The weak-looking woman immediately said that if she could, of course she wanted to leave the palace, and she had no intention of being a concubine.
"I'm still good at dancing." The woman quickly found her advantage, "If Mr. Bai needs it, I can help you train newcomers."
And the gorgeous one asked: "If I stay in the palace, my family..."
Bai Shisan: "I will take care of you as usual."
After all, it was the empress who wanted to send someone to the emperor's old son and put it in Duke Huai's mansion. This disgusting pair operation was what Bai Shisan wanted to achieve.
But it also depends on the two people's own thoughts. Bai Shisanyi is not used to using women as weapons. When he was the King of Leisure, he had a lot of subordinates who just wanted to stay in the palace until they could leave the palace. Age, go out and get married safely.
Of course, if the two of them happened to be interested in staying in the palace to make a fortune, then Bai Shisan would not mind going along with the flow and helping him.
And looking at the other woman's question, Bai Shisan understood her thoughts.
"I don't know about your situation, but I still want to tell you that the water in the palace is very deep, especially now that the empress and concubine are in power, and there is also a virtuous concubine who gave birth to the eldest prince, so it is difficult to get her hair out."
The woman nodded, under Bai Shisan's voice, she said whatever was on her mind.
"I have been stubborn since I was a child, and the queen detained my family and forced me to learn dances that I don't like..." Bai Shisan understood it, but he felt resentful.
It's just that an ordinary woman would happily swim ashore if she had the chance to get out of the sea of suffering. This girl thought differently. She wanted revenge. The queen ruined her first half of her life, so she wanted to make her restless.
She was determined, obviously made up her mind.
Added another sentence, "What's more, who wouldn't want to be able to climb up." She said.
"I hope Mr. Bai will be successful."
The beautiful woman knelt down.
Bai Shisan took off the hairpin from her head and replaced it with [a jade hairpin].This jade hairpin can increase favorability, and the emperor's preference... the much-loved imperial concubine is a gorgeous beauty.
The emperor's preference is already obvious.
After doing this, he slowly dissipated his obsession without any trace, and the few of them kept talking, and the two girls didn't realize that they were a little too knowledgeable just now.
I just think it's because of Bai Shisan's temperament, just looking at it makes people feel at ease and want to believe.
And at this time, the emperor and Xiao Qi had also finished talking.
The emperor just wanted to let Bai Shisan hang out for a while, but when Xuanren came in, he heard that the other party brought two girls, and they were sent by the queen.
The emperor suddenly thought, the empress can give her son as a gift, but he, the emperor, can't?
"Call people in together, and I will give you the palm of your hand."
This request was so normal that the two girls were quickly admitted.Weak and helpless models have never been the emperor's favorite, and there are quite a few in his harem, and I've been bored of them for a long time.
His eyes fell on the gorgeous woman at a glance, and the other party was also bold, raising her head and smiling at him.
I already had a good impression, and with the addition of [a jade hairpin], the emperor was immediately moved.
unfortunately,
This is to be sent to the son's house, as his father...
At this time, I heard Bai Shisan say: "This is the person from the empress's side. It was said that he would give it to the emperor after he was trained, but I saw it and said he would keep one for me."
"Of course, the emperor must choose first, and I can bring the remaining one back to Duke Huai's residence."
Even the grassroots didn't say this, and the emperor didn't care, or he didn't notice this kind of trivial matter at all, only thinking that it was for him.
This time the queen is quite sensible.
So without further ado, he ordered the beautiful woman to stay, and said to Xiao: "You can take the other one back! It just so happens that she is so docile, and she can also suppress the hostility on your body."
Sure enough, it was said that Bai Shisan saw it and asked him to take it back, and everyone knew who it was for.
Xiao Qi frowned when he heard this, he didn't want to... Bai Shisan winked at him, his appearance was playful, but it was a look that told him not to refuse.
So he endured it.
The emperor felt more and more that his move was right, it seemed that this boy surnamed Bai could really deal with Xiao Qi.
It's just that on the other side, after getting the news that one of them had been retained by the emperor and had ordered to be named a talent, the queen was so angry that she smashed half of the things on the table.
"He is not afraid of losing face by making nonsense and robbing his son."
"Your Majesty." The palace maid next to her immediately said: "It was Bai Shisan who said that this person was sent to the emperor, we can't deny this, otherwise the emperor would really be robbing his son."
In other words, they are determined to suffer from the dumb loss.
When the imperial concubine heard about this, she also sneered, but she didn't know the details, she just thought it was sent by the empress to share her favor.
After all, that person is of the same type as her.
But at this moment, Bai Shisan, who was leaving the palace with a reward, was in a good mood.
There is no way, he is happy to see people who want to plot against him angry.
